Pain!
Li Wei could clearly feel the excruciating pain in his palm. Just moments before, he had swiftly hurled his Meteor Hammer to halt the charge of the three Poison Bull Monsters. Then, he used his Qi Blast to increase his speed. Finally, with his hand infused with all his true energy, he blocked the Emperor's Scythe that was aimed at Zheng Yutong.
His speed and reaction time far exceeded his usual level, though Li Wei himself was unaware of this.
This Emperor's Scythe is truly sharp. If it weren't for the true energy protecting my palm, it would probably have sliced my entire hand off. Even so, my palm was still quite badly injured.
What's even more troublesome is that the toxins attached to the sickle have already entered Li Wei's body through his bloodstream.
The Poison Bull Monster, also stubborn as a bull, roared and tried to strike the Emperor's Scythe. Li Wei, however, wouldn't give it that chance and directly unleashed his 'Mind Impact'.
At close range, the power of this skill is terrifying. With a loud bang, the Poison Bull Monster, which weighs at least seven or eight hundred pounds, was sent flying. Even in mid-air, the sound of its sternum breaking could be heard, and its horns were also shattered.
The Mind Impact has a destructive power of 1000, which is constant. If the opponent has strong defense and high health, it cannot kill them in one hit. However, in most cases, whether it is a reincarnator or a monster, it is difficult to withstand this attack.
The Poison Bull Monster was no weakling; although it didn't die immediately, it wasn't far from its demise.
Looking at the Emperor's Scythe in his hand, Li Wei was stunned for a moment, then revealed a cruel smile.
The wound on his hand had long since healed completely thanks to 'Super Regeneration,' but the toxins that had entered through the wound couldn't be eliminated for the time being. He first glanced at Zheng Yutong; the girl was probably terrified and was actually crying.
After we deal with these Poison Bull Monsters, we'll use this opportunity to give that girl a good laugh, so she won't bully us every day.
He turned and charged towards the other two Poison Bull Monsters. On the way, Li Wei drank a bottle of antidote, which relieved the burning pain in his body considerably.
The Emperor's Scythe in his hand was forcibly taken from the Poison Bull Monster. This was not the first time such a thing had happened. Back in the Initial Trial, Li Wei had once snatched Miao Saber from the Black Miao Tribesman.
Without carefully examining the scythe's attributes, Li Wei swung it directly at a Poison Bull Monster. The Emperor's Scythe, imbued with wind pressure, slammed into the Poison Bull Monster's face.
The reason for the "smash" comment is that Li Wei is not very skilled at using scythe-like weapons. These thin-handled weapons are easy to swing, but it is difficult to control the accuracy and angle. Originally, Li Wei intended to use the blade to chop, but the final effect was quite different.
But even when he smashes, Li Wei's strength is not to be underestimated.
Blood gushed from the blow to the Poison Bull Monster bull monster's face. With a roar, the Poison Bull Monster's bloodshot eyes blazed with fury, clearly indicating its true rage.
With a whoosh, it swung its Emperor's Scythe horizontally, slashing towards Li Wei.
Li Wei, who was prepared, suddenly jumped three meters high, dodging the attack. In mid-air, he continued to strike the Poison Bull's face with a Cloud Piercing Palm, and more blood gushed out.
The poisoned bull horn sent Li Wei flying several meters away; had it not been for his Jade Set, he would likely have been pierced through.
Li Wei rushed forward again, continuing to strike the wounds on the other man's face.
The Seventy-Two people finally realized what was happening and quickly swarmed to attack the other Poison Bull Monster. As for the one that had just been hit by the Mind Impact, it was already unable to get up.
The battle was incredibly chaotic, but the reincarnators, who had already developed a tacit understanding, had clear divisions of labor, just like Li Wei usually did when he commanded, and their defense and attacks were carried out in an orderly manner.
With a loud bang, the Poison Bull Monster let out a mournful howl, collapsed to the ground, and died, dropping a green Iron Skin Treasure Chest.
Seventy-Two wiped the sweat from his brow and looked over at Li Wei's side. The fight was still going on, but clearly, Li Wei didn't intend to kill the Poison Bull Monster immediately.
"What is he doing?" Seventy-Two asked, puzzled. The Poison Bull Monster was covered in wounds, while Li Wei, who possessed the Jade Set, was also somewhat disheveled, but dealing with a Poison Bull Monster didn't require such effort.
Having recovered from her memories, Zheng Yutong walked over at this moment.
"He's learning, learning the Poison Bull Monster's fighting style!"
In a single sentence, everyone's attention was drawn: learn fighting techniques from monsters? This can't be a joke!
After careful consideration, the group of Seventy-Two realized that, indeed, in the battles along the way, whenever they encountered a new monster, their captain always needed a long time to resolve the fight.
If he were to use his normal B-level combat power, dealing with a C-Rank monster would be a piece of cake. He had been wondering about this before, but Zheng Yutong's words made him realize the truth.
But what can one learn from monsters?
Seeing that the other reincarnators didn't seem to understand, Zheng Yutong just smiled and didn't want to explain further. In fact, she had discovered Li Wei's 'flaw' during that mission in Heroes of Might and Magic.
At first, she thought it was her imagination. You see, women are always very sensitive. It wasn't until Li Wei used the sword-wielding style of the 'Skeleton Soldier' during a battle that she suddenly realized what was going on.
Upon closer reflection, she realized that Li Wei had been improving his combat power in a freakish way all along the way. From his initial clumsiness in wielding his sword to his later smooth movements as if wielding a divine arm, his learning speed was nothing short of freakish... No, freakish is no longer enough to describe Li Wei's learning ability. If she had to find a word to describe it, then it would only be 'monster'.
Yes, she's a monster!
Others might not have noticed, but she knew that Li Wei had been studying the 'footwork' of that ninja reincarnator, and now he was probably trying to master the use of scythe-like weapons.
What a terrifying man!
Honestly, there are plenty of weapon specialization Skill Book in Shadow Street; wouldn't it be faster and easier to learn those? Why bother practicing on your own?
This is the only thing Zheng Yutong can't understand.
She guessed correctly; Li Wei was indeed studying the Poison Bull Monster's attack methods. Although they were in the middle of a battle, he knew that Seventy-Two and the others had taken care of the other Poison Bull, leaving only the one he was fighting.
This presents the best learning opportunity.
Don't let their clumsy appearance fool you; these Poison Bull Monsters are actually natural-born masters of scythe-like weapons. Moreover, their reaction speed is the fastest Li Wei has ever encountered since entering the dungeon.
In order to master the use of the long-handled sickle, Li Wei did not intend to deal with the opponent immediately. Instead, he dealt with the Poison Bull, observing its every movement, from the way it held the sickle to the angle of its waist twisting when swinging the weapon. He paid attention to even the smallest details.
Finally, Li Wei mastered some skills in using the sickle. It was a strange feeling; the weapon, which had been so unfamiliar in his hands, now felt strangely familiar.
Li Wei chuckled, gripping the Emperor's Scythe tightly in his hand. After dodging a sweeping attack from the Poison Bull Monster, he used almost the exact same posture and movement as Poison Bull Monster to slit its throat.
Battle over!
The tormented Poison Bull Monster could finally rest, and with a 'ding', a gem fell from its body.
[Soul Gem], increases the level of items +6 or higher, with a 50% success rate.
This was the first time Li Wei and his team had successfully extracted a gem. They put away the stone that emitted a pinkish glow, and Li Wei felt indescribably pleased.
Having mastered another fighting style, it seems that I'll use this Emperor's Scythe as my next weapon.
[Emperor's Scythe], Green quality, Attack 21-37, Inflicts Deadly Poison, with a small note on its attributes: 'To use it skillfully, brute force alone is not enough!'
Li Wei smiled. Indeed, sometimes, strength cannot solve all problems.
With the Emperor's Scythe over his shoulder, Li Wei rejoined his unit.
"How are you, little girl? You weren't hurt just now, were you?"
What was originally a simple sentence took on a completely different meaning in Zheng Yutong's ears. The thought that this man had stood up for her with his bare hands and even been injured in the process brought tears to the eyes of this woman who rarely cried.
